Words made you mighty. Words, stories, books: they could take you anywhere, and they could go out anywhere in the world. Jenny -- Jane -- picked up her pen, and began to write. ~ Lisa Pliscou
Young Jane Austen quotes by Lisa Pliscou
You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Jane Austen can in fact get more drama out of morality than most other writers can get from shipwreck, battle, murder, or mayhem. ~ Ronald Blythe
Young Jane Austen quotes by Ronald Blythe
Jane Austen wrote six of the most beloved novels in the English language, we are informed at the end of Becoming Jane, and so she did. The key word is beloved. Her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces. ~ Roger Ebert
Young Jane Austen quotes by Roger Ebert
This made my father laugh. 'Mary made a cake, did she? Well, well. Better that than she should make a cake for herself, I suppose.'
Peter then burst out: 'Why must you always be making a game of Mary? 'Tis not fair; 'tis not sporting. ~ Jennifer Paynter
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jennifer Paynter
Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Words were insufficient for the elevation of his [Mr Collins'] feelings; and he was obliged to walk about the room, while Elizabeth tried to unite civility and truth in a few short sentences. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Yes, Marianne. She lost her sense of right and wrong. She thought that because loving Willoughby felt good, it had to be right ~ Katherine Reay
Young Jane Austen quotes by Katherine Reay
A scheme of which every part promises delight, can never be successful; and general disappointment is only warded off by the defence of some little peculiar vexation. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Depend upon it, you see but half. You see the evil, but you do not see the consolation. There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere - and those evil–minded observers, dearest Mary, who make much of a little, are more taken in and deceived than the parties themselves. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Mrs. Dashwood remained at Norland several months; not from any disinclination to move when the sight of every well known spot ceased to raise the violent emotion which it produced for a while; for when her spirits began to revive, and her mind became capable of some other exertion than that of heightening its affliction by melancholy remembrances, she was impatient to be gone, and indefatigable in her inquiries for a suitable dwelling in the neighbourhood of Norland; for to remove far from that beloved spot was impossible. But she could hear of no situation that at once answered her notions of comfort and ease, and suited the prudence of her eldest daughter, whose steadier judgment rejected several houses as too large for their income, which her mother would have approved. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
I will not allow books to prove any thing."
"But how shall we prove any thing?"
"We never shall. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
But for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Well, I'm drawn to stuff that is darker. I will probably do a version of Jane Austen at some point because her books are really well known. Unfortunately they've been parodied to death, but they're so well known that I feel like I should approach it and I think I have an idea that will definitely spin it in a different way. There's melancholy and sadness around the edges. I haven't read all of her books, but it seems they often have ... essentially happy endings? ~ Robert Sikoryak
Young Jane Austen quotes by Robert Sikoryak
Anne always contemplated them as some of the happiest creatures of her acquaintance; but still, saved as we all are, by some comfortable feeling of superiority from wishing for the possibility of exchange, she would not have given up her own more elegant and cultivated mind for all their enjoyments; and envied them nothing but that seemingly perfect good understanding and agreement together, that good-humoured mutual affection, of which she had known so little herself with either of her sisters. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great reader, and has no pleasure in anything else. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
He would look for her- he would find her out long before the evening were over- and at present, perhaps, it was as to be asunder. She was in need of a little interval for recollection. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Aye, so it is," cried her mother, "and Mrs. Long does not come back till the day before; so it will be impossible for her to introduce him, for she will not know him herself. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding?joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid leaves with disgust. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
But Elizabeth was not formed for ill-humour; and though every prospect of her own was destroyed for the evening, it could not dwell long on her spirits; and having told all her griefs to Charlotte Lucas, whom she had not seen for a week, she was soon able to make a voluntary transition to the oddities of her cousin, and to point him out to her particular notice. The first two dances, however, brought a return of distress; they were dances of mortification. Mr. Collins, awkward ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
I tell stories. I kind of stumbled on that by trying to combine Jane Austen and magic. ~ Susanna Clarke
Young Jane Austen quotes by Susanna Clarke
If we go that way, it seems less like we'll be shot for trespassing. We can't be low profile because of your shirt."
"Aquamarine is a wonderful color, and I won't be made to feel bad for wearing it," Gansey said. But his voice was a bit thin, and he glanced back at the church again. Just then he looked younger than she'd ever seen him, his eyes narrowed, hair messed up, features unstudied. Young and, strangely enough, afraid.
Blue thought: I can't tell him. I can never tell him. I have to just try to stop it from happening.
Then Gansey, suddenly charming again, flipped a hand in the direct of her purple tunic dress. "Lead the way, Eggplant."
She found a stick to poke at the ground for snakes before they set off through the grass. The wind smelled like rain, and the ground rumbled with thunder, but the weather held. The machine in Gansey's hands blinked red constantly, only flickering to orange when they stepped too far away from the invisible line.
"Thanks for coming, Jane," Gansey said.
Blue shot him a dirty look. "You're welcome, Dick."
He looked pained. "Please don't. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Young Jane Austen quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Of such, one may almost say, that 'the world is not their's, nor the world's law. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
His reading has done him no harm, for he has fought as well as read. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
Sympathy compounded of liking and compassion in varying proportions evidently seemed to Jane Austen the most natural inventive to imaginative interest in a character. ~ Mary Lascelles
Young Jane Austen quotes by Mary Lascelles
I have always maintained the importance of Aunts ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
She had lolled about for three years at Girton with the kind of books she could equally have read at home
Jane Austen, Dickens, Conrad, all in the library downstairs, in complete sets. How had that pursuit, reading the novels that others took as their leisure, let her think she was superior to anyone else? ~ Ian McEwan
Young Jane Austen quotes by Ian McEwan
He had an affectionate heart. He must love somebody. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
The past, present, and future, were all equally in gloom. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
I well know the sight of beauty is a real gratification. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
I can say nothing less, for I suppose Miss Woodhouse and Mr Frank Churchill are hearing every thing that passes. And (raising his voice still more) I do not see why Miss Fairfax should not be mentioned too . . . Now if your friends have any gratitude, they will say something pretty loud about you and me in return, but I cannot stay to hear it.
-Mr. Knightely ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
You are a very warm friend to Mr. Martin; but, as I said before, are unjust to Harriet. ... Waiving that point, however, and supposing her to be, as you describe her, only pretty and good-natured, let me tell you, that in the degree she possesses them, they are not trivial recommendations to the world in general, ... and till it appears that men are much more philosophic on the subject of beauty than they are generally supposed; till they do fall in love with well-informed minds instead of handsome faces, a girl, with such loveliness as Harriet, has a certainty of being admired and sought after, of having the power of chusing from among many, consequently a claim to be nice. Her good-nature, too, is not so very slight a claim, comprehending, as it does, real, thorough sweetness of temper and manner, a very humble opinion of herself, and a great readiness to be pleased with other people. I am very much mistaken if your sex in general would not think such beauty, and such temper, the highest claims a woman could possess. ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
I fancy Miss Price has been more used to deserve praise than to hear it ... ~ Jane Austen
Young Jane Austen quotes by Jane Austen
[H]is first purpose was to explain himself, and before they reached Mr. Allen's grounds he had done it so well that Catherine did not think it could ever be repeated too often. She was assured of his affection; and that heart in return was solicited, which, perhaps, they pretty equally knew was already entirely his own; for, though Henry was now sincerely attached to her, though he felt and delighted in all the excellencies of her character and truly loved her society, I must confess that his affection originated in nothing better than gratitude, or, in other words, that a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought. It is a new circumstance in romance, I acknowledge, and dreadfully derogatory of an heroine's dignity; but if it be as new in common life, the credit of a wild imagination will at least be all my own. ~ Jane Austen
